Original title: Carry forward the culture of the Yangtze River and continue the thousand-year-old cultural context.
The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the "root" and "soul" of the Chinese nation. The Yangtze River has given birth to a splendid and brilliant traditional Chinese culture and is an important symbol of Chinese civilization. With Comrade *** as the core, we attach great importance to the inheritance and innovation of China's excellent traditional culture, and have made major decisions and arrangements for the construction of a national cultural park. The construction of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park is an important part of this deployment. Jiangsu Province attaches great importance to the construction of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, and has taken the lead in compiling the "Construction and Protection Plan for the Jiangsu Section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park" to protect, inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture with the Yangtze River culture as the core, strengthen the protection of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River cultural resources and natural resources, undertake a new cultural mission, and enhance the cultural self-confidence of the people.
The construction and use of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park is of great significance to Jiangsu, which is mainly reflected in three aspects: First, it provides a "source" of strength for the inheritance and development of the thousand-year-old cultural context of the Chinese nation. As the mother river of China, the Yangtze River is an important birthplace of the Chinese nation, which has witnessed the history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, nurtured fishing and hunting civilization, agricultural civilization, industrial civilization, information civilization, etc., and highlighted the distinctive continuity of Chinese civilization. The second is to provide a practical "foundation" for the inheritance and development of the thousand-year-old cultural context of the Chinese nation. The Yangtze River culture inherits the history and culture of China, and is constantly enriched and developed in practice, which is a fertile cultural soil for the formation and development of the core values of socialism. Through further excavation of the cultural resources of the Yangtze River, we can enhance the sense of community of the Chinese nation and inspire the people to unite their efforts on the practical road of building Chinese-style modernization. The third is to provide innovative "power" for the inheritance and development of the thousand-year-old cultural context of the Chinese nation. The construction of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park is an important innovative measure to fully implement the spirit of the important exposition of the general secretary on protecting, inheriting and promoting the Yangtze River culture, and to further promote the construction of a cultural power.
However, objectively speaking, there are still some deficiencies in the specific work of building and making good use of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park in Jiangsu. First, the grasp of the main line is not prominent enough. The Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park includes the three major river basins of the Yellow River, the Huai River and the Yangtze River from north to south, and has the characteristics of the confluence of rivers, the accompaniment of rivers and lakes, the integration of rivers and seas, and the interdependence of rivers and cities. This also leads to the fact that although the culture of different regions has its own emphasis, the focus is not prominent enough, especially the grasp of the main line of Yangtze River culture is not obvious enough. Second, the form of cultural and creative models is not rich enough. At present, the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park still lacks some popular cultural and creative products that can trigger phenomenal communication during the construction process, and it also needs to be further enriched and developed in the use of new technologies to continuously innovate the construction model. Third, the sense of synergy and cultural standing still need to be improved. Due to the unbalanced distribution of resources and the unbalanced development of various regions, there is a "north-south" gap in the construction of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, and the publicity work of the Yangtze River culture needs to be further integrated and coordinated.
In the future, to build and make good use of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, we should continue to make efforts in the following aspects.
First of all, the Yangtze River culture was decoded and the identification system of the Yangtze River culture in Jiangsu was formed. First, experts and scholars can be organized to dig deep into the cultural connotation and characteristics of the construction of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, and present the construction concept through vivid signs to increase publicity. According to the actual needs, relevant think tanks and research teams should be set up in a timely manner, systematically sort out the cultural context, find out the cultural relics and cultural resources of the Yangtze River (Jiangsu section) through the survey of cultural resources and the civilization exploration project, establish a resource database, and compile cultural readers of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park at different levels and suitable for more groups to read. Second, we can refer to the innovative construction path of the Grand Canal Museum in many places to create the "Yangtze River Cultural Museum (Jiangsu Section)". It can not only fully display the cultural characteristics of the Yangtze River in the Jiangsu section, but also highlight the protection, inheritance and development of the Yangtze River culture in the Jiangsu section. The third is to focus on creating landmark buildings or cultural landscapes, fully highlighting the local cultural characteristics of cities along the Yangtze River, such as Nanjing's characteristics of humanities and nature from the banks of the Qinhuai River to the Yangtze River Bridge, the cultural characteristics of the Yangtze River Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou, and the cultural characteristics of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang thousand-year-old ferries, so as to strengthen the people's sense of identity with the Yangtze River culture.
Secondly, develop a high-quality cultural and creative model, and improve the construction of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park in multiple dimensions. The first is to carefully build the original IP of the Yangtze River (Jiangsu) and tell the story of the Yangtze River culture. According to the overall layout of the construction of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park of "one main, eight branches and four pieces", an overall "Water Charm Jiangsu" super IP has been formed. We will increase support for representative cultural and tourism projects, and integrate the Yangtze River Cultural Festival, the Hundred Opera (Kunshan) Festival, and the Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Expo with performing arts and tourism projects to create a cultural festival of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu. The second is to guide and encourage the creation of literary and artistic creations on the theme of Yangtze River culture, promote key projects to display Jiangsu's achievements, and support the creation of Jiangsu's Yangtze River cultural and creative products with the help of more cultural heritage, historical sites, museums, libraries, and various cultural and artistic performances. The third is the construction of science and technology empowerment parks. Using big data, VR, 5G and other technical means, we will build a digital platform, develop digital cultural and creative products, integrate online and offline, and integrate "play, learning, understanding, and purchasing", so as to diversify the construction of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park.
Finally, it is necessary to improve the cultural position, establish the awareness of the collaborative construction of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, and build a Jiangsu path of "going out". The first is to integrate resources and establish a sense of collaborative construction. Increase the complementary advantages between different regions in the Jiangsu section, build a public service platform, improve infrastructure construction, break down the barriers between cities and departments, promote coordination and cooperation between cities and urban and rural areas, and form a joint force for the inheritance and development of the Yangtze River culture. The second is to increase international cooperation and enhance international visibility. Through the World Great River Civilization Forum and other forms, we will focus on the development model, cultural inheritance, heritage protection and other issues of the cities through which the major rivers flow around the world, and promote exchanges and interactions between cities and resource sharing. Strengthen cooperation and exchanges with international organizations to enhance the international visibility of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park. The third is to innovate expressions and expand cultural influence. Promote the creation of literary and artistic works with the theme of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, tell the story of the Yangtze River culture, and improve the recognition of the international community. Organize international students, staff and other groups in Suzhou, plan and organize cultural exchange activities, help them understand the culture of the Yangtze River, and drive them to actively share the history and culture of the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park in social networking.
